Abstract
A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing wayward sons, describing ways in which they can "murder" their parents by damaging their spirits. Hitchcock describes several ways in which young men may damage their parents' spirits, including by immoral conduct, being influenced by bad companions, embracing religious error, abandoning religion, or neglecting religion. He goes on to encourage his listeners to consider whether they are "murderers" of their own parents, and reflect on how they can improve their conduct. A sheet by Hitchcock pasted on the cover introduces the sermon and describes why he is preaching this sermon even though many in the audience likely heard it preached by him several years before. This sermon was later published by the American Tract Society.
